Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said it is certain of winning the November 11 governorship election in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi States, going by the level of its acceptability by the people.<\/p>\n

The acting National Chairman, PDP, Umar Damagum, said this in Abuja at the inauguration of the party\u2019s National Campaign Council for the election in the three states.<\/p>\n

Damagum urged members of the council to work within the law to win the three states, which he described as PDP strongholds.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWhat\u2019s expected of you is to go there and remind them that this isn\u2019t what we bargained for, and that there\u2019s a time God in his infinite mercy, always gives us to change the course of history, and this is the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have Bayelsa, we\u2019ll have Imo and we\u2019ll have Kogi. These are PDP states. Somehow, they slipped away but Bayelsa has always had a PDP governor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke, who is also the chairman of the Kogi State campaign team, expressed confidence in the PDP\u2019s ability to win the governorship election in the three states.<\/p>\n

According to Adeleke, the chances of the party in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi are \u2018very great.\u2019<\/p>\n
